Fate is cruel (solo)

Blazefang lay in a corner, crying until she choked on her tears. She’d just received word of the death of a friend. Mudfern had gone out to hunt alone and was later found by the Thunderpath. His death had been quick, they’d told her. As if that was any comfort. He shouldn’t have died at all. He was just trying to provide for his clan, not to mention his unborn kits. Oh stars, his kits! Blazefang sat up suddenly, reminded of the fact that she was pregnant. Pregnant with kits never meant to be hers. And now their father was gone. They had no one. And then she felt something within her belly, a tiny flutter. A new feeling came over her. Love. These were her kits now, and she would do anything for them. Even if it meant leaving her clan to keep them safe.
